UNJUST STEWARDS.

As the Saints are scriptural or nothing,
1t is believed that now they are about to
be turned out of their stewardship, they
will fall back upon the example OF the
unjust steward as given in the gospel.
1t will be recollected that as he was on
the eve of being kicked out OF office for
his misdeeds, he collected together the
debtors of his master and made friends
OF them after this fashion. Chow
much," said he to one OF them,
"dost thou owe to my master?"
And the debtor said, "a hundred
measures OF OIL" And the steward said,
Take thy bill and sit down quickly and
write fifty" And thus he made friends
who would receive him into their homes
after he had Justly been ousted from
office.
For two score years unfaithful stew
ards have, in Utah, directed and con-
trolled Uncle Sans affairs and handled
his money. An accounting has been had
and the unjust stewards have received
notice to quit. So calling around them
Uncle Sans debtors they say to one,
'How much owest thou to the county of
Salt Lake," The hesitating debtor is
afraid to commit himself. Never mind says
the questioner 'set down third or half,
as may suit the size OF your pile, and
doctor the books accordin'." And "Jack,
thou hast had hard time in holding on
so long and in collecting interest on thy
private loans to the brethren; pay thy
self well for thy trouble, and doctor thy
books accordin'." And to the gas man
and others with whom the city deals,
"Make haste, brothers, and attach your
selves as barnaces to the Territorial ship
with long and leech-like contracts, for
Uncle Sam has surplus OF money to
pay deficiencies, and it is our duty to
spoil the Egyptians and to make friends
OF the Mammon OF unrighteousness. !"
Leaving Scripture and coming down to
fable, the old story OF the farmer and the
boy in his apple tree is about to be re-
peated. Possession was nine points in
the law, at least as against tufts OF grass
with which the farmer at first pelted the
thievish boy. But when stones and
clubs were resorted to, getting down with
a dull thud at the landing will become
the order OF the day. Lively times may
be expected shortly,

A CONTRAST.

Plain Mr.. Gladstone and the new "My
Lord Tennyson, each one nearly four
score years OF age, have lately attracted
attention by adverse public utterances.
Tennyson is the poet-laureate of Great
Britain, ennobled by the Queen for his
rhyming hattery OF her majesty; Glad
stone is the representative commoner OF
the realm ennobled by unanimous ac-
claim of all good people in all the
earth The poet, with his back to
the setting sun, lives only in the
shadow of hopeless cynicism and
vents his spleen in halting verse
and misanthropic spirit The grand
old man," with faith in God and the
future, responds to the aspirations OF ad-
vancing humanity, and, with a strong
arm and an eloquent voice, leads the van
OF the fighting and conquering column.
One is wrapped about with the cere-
ments OF the grave, which lies open at
his feet; the other, as the result OF
an active life in the pursuance OF noble
ends, stands as demi-god in the con
verging light Of two worlds. Tennyson has
hung his harp upon the willows, and,
with muflled and averted face, hears
only the croak of the raven over q
hapless, sin-cursed world; while Glad
stone listens to the jocund songs Of birds
welcoming the dawn OF better era. II
is sad thing to see an old man with a
dead soul in a dying body.

PROFESSOR EMMoNs claims that his
wife is insane, and jury in Washington
is sitting in judgment on her case. The
examination OF Mrs. Emmons, continuing
for a number OF days, sparkled with
jokes and racy sayings which entitle the
lady to the title OF Mrs. 10. Miller. One
OF the jurors is named Oyster "He is a
hard-shell oyster, I'll bet," said Mrs.
Emmons. One OF her prosecutors, a
Mrs. De Cormis, had been discharged
from the service of Mrs. Emmons, who
had kept her trunk, "for | knew" said
the feminine joker, "that she would fol-
low her trunk like any other elephant. j"

Mr. PowDERLY addressed an enthusi-
astic meeting of the Knights of Labor at
Newark last week. He said: "There
are people who say we are making war
on the trades unions. | say no. 1t is
not true. There is one thing that ask
you to believe, and that is, when man
joins this society OF ours he stands in an
organization as good as any in its name
and principles that ever stood on Gods
earth. That | have done every
thing in my power to place the organ
ization in its proper light, not only before
the Catholic Church-(of which Powderly
is member, but before every other
church, is true"

princely areas OF the National domain,
they owe the United States for loans OF
money-principal and interest unpaid-in
round numbers, one hundred and fifty
millions of dollars, and now Charles
Francis Adams upbraids the Government
for instituting investigating committees
to inquire into their affairs. What long
suffering, patient soulless corporations
they are to be sure. Perhaps the Inter
State Commerce bill, if it becomes a
law, will comfort them in their aflliction.

EDITORIAL paragraphs are becoming
fashionable. One by Henry George in
the first number OF his new paper, the
Standard, in connection with DIR. Nc
Glynn and the Catholic Church, occupied
but nine columns. Replying to it,
The Tablet, Catholic paper, devoted
one whole page to a counter paragraph.
If brevity is the soul of wit, what witty
fellows these editors must be, but only
gentlemen OF leisure can appreciate them.

THE PACIFIC RAILWAYS.

The transcOntinental railways have ac-
complished wonders. They have trans
formed impecunious men into million
aires by scores, they have secretly expend-
ed millions of dollars where they would do
the most good, as Mr., Huntington clev-
erly expresses it, "to see that the roads
received no damage from the legislative,
judicial and executive branches of gov
ernment." Tney have loaded shippers
and passengers along the line of their
roads with burdens grievous to

Sir Wiifrid Lawson, Radical, supporting
the amendment, said it was an honor to
America to send money TO those who were

Mr., Chance Nationalist, moved that a
new clause be added providing that pro-

Mr.. Holmes, Attorney General for Ire

TO BE CLOSED THURSDAY.
LONDON, June IS, 5 A. M.-The govern
ment has decided TO close the report stage
of the Crimes bill Thursday and to ask the
House to proceed with the bill daily until it
passes its third reading. The Land bill win
come up in the House of Commons Monday
In the debate last night Mr.. Chance
moved several new clauses to the Grimes
bill dealing with legal procedure, all of
which were rejected by large maiorities
The Daily Ne,Us says this morning that
the waste of time on some of Mr.. Chances
proposals was unreasonable, while others of
his proposals might be usefully debated in
the form of a separate bill which, however,
the government could not be expected to
accept.
Justin Mccarthy writes that there is not
the slightest truth in any report about Mr.,
Parnelps retiring from political life. The
Nationalists, he says, have never talked, or
even thought of electing any other leader,
and all hope soon to see Mr.. Parnell restored
to perfect health

SHARP A BODILY WRECK.
HE PRESENTS A wOEFUL PICTURE
IN THE COURT ROOM.

Mr.. Parsons Delivers the Opening
Address for the Defense-Tne Exam
ination of Witnesses Begun -Ex-Al-
derman Fullgraff's Presence Makes
the District Attorney Apprehensive.
New YORK, June 27.--Jacob Sharp tot
tered into court this morning looking
wearied and worn, with hardly vestige of
color in his wrinkled and woe-begone face.
The reason for this was that he had passed
terrible night, not even getting as much
sleep as was his lot Saturday night. Mrs.
Sharp, who had been privileged to remain
with him, had been assiduous in her atten-
tions to her sick husband, and had not rested
one minute during the entire night. With
the beginning of the reading by Mr.. Nicoll
Of his testimony before the Senate investi-
eating committee he opened his lustreless
eyes and attempted to interest himself in the
proceedings.
KERR NOT PRESENT.
The first business of the session was to
again adjourn the June Oyer and Terminer
to Monday, July II, after which Harrison
d. Kerr, one of the Seventh avenue street
railway directors, was called as witness
for the prosecution, but he failing to respond
Senate Stenographer Cornell was recalled to
the stand while the balance of the testimony
of Mr.. Sharp before the Senate committee,
or so much thereof as the prosecution de-
sired, was read by the Assistant District At
torney.
Mr. Nicoll finished reading the testimony
at 1f:17 O'clock and rested the case for the
people. .@
FULLGRAFF IN COURT.
Ex-Alderman Fullgraff came into court
and had short private conference with
Peter Mitchell of the counsel for the de-
fense. He then turned out closely followed
by the District Attorney, who acted as
though he was fearful that the States best
witness was going to turn traitor and that
he must do something to prevent it.
A ten minutes rest was taken after the
prosecution closed, after which Mr.. Parsons
arose and commenced the opening address
in behalf of the defense.
TWO FRUITLEss MOTIONS.
Mr.. Parsons said that the duty had fallen
upon him to open for the defense but before
he proceeded to do so he had two motions to
make that he desired to appear on the rec
ords; first, to ask the prosecution to elect
whether it would stand upon that part of
the Indictment charging an agreement to
bribe Alderman Fullgraff, or upon that part
alleging that he was in fact bribed by Mr..
Sharp. The motion was denied The sec
ond motion was that the court advise the
jury to acquit the defendant as the case
now stands, under section 4l0 of the Code of
Criminal Procedure, and this motion was
also denied and an exception taken.
Mr.. Parsons spoke five hours, not in
cluding the time taken for recess. He con-
cluded with an appeal to the jury not to be
Influenced by anything but the evidence in
determining their verdict During the inter-
mission after Mr. Parsons address DIR.
Loomis examined Sharp in one of the ante
rooms. He pronounced Sharp very sick
snan. The taking of testimony for the de-
Tense then began.

DRUG STORE BURNED
CHATTANOOGA, TENN, June 2T.-Berry
& Co. IS drug store, a athree-story brick build
ing in this city, was partially destroyed by
fire to-day. The flames originated in the
basement, where a quantity of varnish ig-
nited from match struck by the colored
porter. Before the fire could be checked, it
had gutted the entire building. The loss
will be about S., 900 on the building, which
was not insured, and 5000 on Berry &
Co.'S stock, which was insured for $1,000.
1900 MADE HOMELESS.
MILWAUKEE, WIS, June 27.--Fire almost
swept the town of Marshfield out of exist
ence this afternoon and 1000 people are
homeless. The loss is not less than 81 ,000,-
600. A locomotive spark started blaze at
noon in the lumber yard of the Upham
furniture factory and it rapidly developed
into roaring fire that spread toward the
town. Insufficient protection facilities pre-
vented any resistance to the flames and soon
several fiourishing factories, business blocks
along Main Street and adjoining
residences were wrapped in flames. The
people gathered such household goods as
they could and fed to the woods The heat
was SO intense that $500 feet of the Wis
consin Central track, which runs through
one end of the town, was bent and twisted.
Travel cannot be resumed on this account
until tomorrow.
Special trains from Stevens Point and
Chippewa Falls conveyed fire engines to the
place, but the fire was beyond all control.
But one store and few half burned houses
remain of the Hourishing town. Many
people were transferred by the special
trains to neighboring towns, and others
camped on the outskirts of the town.
Among the buildings destroyed were a
woodenware factory, grist mill, saw mill,
and the factory of the Upham Manufactur-
ing Company, the fremont and several
minor hotels, warehouses along the Wiscon-
sin Central railroad, its depot, four churches
and the business centre. The insurance is
less than one-flfth of the loss.

SLIPPED ON THE WAYS.
a NARROW ESCAPE FROM A HoR~
RoR AT JACKSONVILLE.


The Steamer Mascotte Plunged Back
Into the Water at Lightning Speed
by the Breaking of Cog Wheel
The Cannon Ball Train Has Close
Call.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, June 27.--What
might have been a serious accident occurred
this afternoon at Drew, Hazeltine a. Liv-
ingstons shipyard. The steamship Mas
cote was being hauled on the ways prepara-
tory to having her bottom scraped before
going to Havana on the Fourth Of July.
Suddenly the cog-gear wheel, which held
huge chain, snapped and the immense vessel
shot back like lightning into the water,
fully 200 feet, creating CONSERVATION among
the yard hands. Fortunately, on account
OF the rain, the scrapers were not at work,
else the list of killed would have been very
large. No damage was done, except the
breaking Of the shipyard machinery.
THE CANNON RAILS ESCAPE.
The Savannah, Florida and Western cam
non ball train due at Jacksonville this
morning arrived hero this afternoon and
the passengers tell of their narrow escape
The train had left billiards station and was
on high trestle when one of the passenger
coach journals broke and the coach was de-
rallied breaking the woodwork of the trestle
considerably. Fortunately the train was
going slowly and the engineer seeing the ac.
cident stopped In time. The passengers
wero then transferred 10 the express car
and brought here in safety.
The Odd Fellows Of Jacksonville decided
to-day to build a magnificent infirmasy
here. The building will be so by s. feet
and three stories high.
1t has been raining incessantly here for

CHICAGo's ROAST PORK.
The Firemen Still Playing on the Burn
ing Mass.


CHICAGO, June 27.--Of the firemen in
jured at yesterdays blaze at the stock
yards, one died last night and four more
are in precarious condition, being injured
internally and having broken limbs. At
o'clock this morning the flames broke out
afresh about the chill rooms of what is
known as the ''hutch house, Under the
south chill rooms 100000 pounds of prime
pork were picking in watts. The contents
of the chill room and vat are .valued
at from $500, 900 to $350, 900. A shalty wall
was all that separated this from the flames
and the firemen had to work harder than at
any time during the progress of the fire to
prevent their burning. At 3 o'clock the
end was still in lurid glare, butthe danger
of the north wall falling was passed. Ten
streams were directed at the burning mass.
1t will require constant work for forty
eight hours to thoroughly extinguish the
fire in the pork, the firemen all being
relieved by the reserves.
The insurance on the property destroyed
by the fire foots up 1907, $50 Most of the
policies were for $500 apiece, and the list
would include nearly every insurance COM
pany in the United States, besides numerous
foreign companies.
